瑞典卡罗林斯卡学院招收神经突想学博士后

PostDoc in Neuroimaging (scholarship) : Stockholm, Sweden

We are seeking a highly talented, innovative and enthusiastic researcher with a PhD in neuroimaging awarded within the past three years to work on projects in which advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis methods are applied to the problem of how we perceive our own body in space.

The research will be conducted at the Brain, Body and Self Laboratory at the Department of Neuroscience (www.ehrssonlab.se). This center has widespread expertise in fMRI, and the Karolinska Institutet has two MR-centers with state-of-the-art 3T MR scanners (GE and Siemens, respectively).

The ideal candidate will have expertise in the acquisition and analysis of fMRI data, as well as excellent programming skills. Expertise in multivariate pattern recognition, voxel-based receptive field mapping, would be an advantage, as would an undergraduate education in engineering (or a related area). The candidate is expected to work on projects in which advanced fMRI methods are applied to questions relating to how multisensory signals from the body are integrated at the levels of cortical and subcortical structures and/or the decoding of body illusions; however, purely technical projects involving method development are also possible. Good social skills are important as the candidate is expected to actively collaborate with other members of the laboratory, in addition to running his or her own project. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a consistently good academic record, including publications in international journals.

The position is limited to an initial 12-month period with the possibility of extension for an additional 12 months. For applicants with a foreign PhD, the positions are funded by a scholarship.

Entry requirements
Scholarships to pursue postdoctoral studies may be awarded to individuals who come from other countries with the intention of remaining in Sweden only while obtaining all or part of their education. The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish PhD or higher. Having received a salary or other remuneration from Karolinska Institutet during the past two years may be disqualifying. One requirement for receiving a scholarship for postdoctoral studies is central registration as a postdoc.

Type of scholarship
Karolinska Institutet awards scholarships to pursue postdoctoral studies. This educational scholarship, which is paid for a maximum of two years within seven years after the receipt of a PhD or the equivalent, is tax-exempt. The amount is set for 25000 SEK per month for maximum of twelve months at a time and is paid out on a monthly basis.

Application process
An application must contain the following documents in English:

• Curriculum vitae and qualifications, presented in accordance with Karolinska Institutet’s qualifications portfolio (http://ki.se/meritportfolj )
• A complete list of publications
• A summary of current work and research interests (no more than one page)
• Verifications for crediting of illness, military service, work for labour unions or student organisations, parental leave or similar circumstances
• Verification from the thesis defence committee or the equivalent (only if the thesis defence is scheduled within three months after the application deadline)
• Contact details for three reference persons

The application is to be submitted to the MyNetwork recruitment system.
